Just as the men were about to move, Leng Yan stopped them, “There’s no need.”
He didn’t want to stay here for another second. He turned to Qiao Qing and said, “Let’s go.”
Qiao Qing nodded and headed out with Leng Yan.
Cao Hong sat down in his seat and drank his tea.
His friend who wore an ancient robe said, “Boss Cao sure gets his cash quickly! In one night, you managed to earn ten billion from one guy!”
Cao Hong started to chuckle, “It’s all thanks to that doormat who has to support him no matter what!”
His other friend, who had a cigarette in his mouth, said, “I have always wondered why Leng Yan continues to help Leng Jie. He’s managed the company well, which means he’s not exactly dumb.”
The other friend chimed in, “That’s what I’m saying. Even if they have the same parents, nobody would clean up after his mess like this. They don’t even share the same mother! If it were me, I would’ve shunned that mother and son a long time ago!”
Cao Hong exclaimed, “Don’t you see? Despite the size the Leng Corporation grew, they only have two sons left. Leng Yan still hasn’t married nor has he had any children. He may not want to help Leng Jie, but would his grandpa agree? However…”
As he watched Leng Yan leave, he snickered, “No matter what the reason is, I’ve got him on bait. He has to spend money for Leng Jie, which means he has to spend money here. He may act all mighty and better than me, but at the end of the day, he always has to come over here and pay up to gather the hostage!”
His friends nodded in agreement.
“No matter how big the Leng Corporation is, they cannot make ten billion overnight. He may act all mighty, but with those two dragging him down, he’s destined to work for others his whole life.”
Cao Hong was very satisfied with this conversation. All of Leng Yan’s hard work was to spend money on his turf.
This international CEO, this son from a wealthy family – all his hard-earned money ended up here.
He picked up his teacup to take another sip. Who knew that the moment he brought the cup to his lips, it exploded.
He turned his head early so the shards didn’t hurt his eyes. However, the broken shard sliced a long cut right beneath his eye. Blood splattered at once.
He covered his wound and shouted in astonishment, “Hurry! Take me to the hospital!”
He was already insecure with his looks and now that there was a cut on his face, he grew even more fearful. He had no energy to figure out why his teacup suddenly broke, as he only focused on getting to a hospital.
His friends, however, were confused and exchanged glances, “How come the cup broke?”
“Yeah, the water isn’t that hot?”
Cao Hong didn’t pay attention to them and left through the backdoor while he covered his face.
He had no idea that during his trip to the hospital, his turf would go through some irreversible change.
At the same time, Qiao Qing and Leng Yan had left through the front door.
Qiao Qing released the Qi in her hand as she walked forward. She pretended she was unaware of what happened.
Perhaps others couldn’t hear the conversation that happened behind them, but since she knew ancient martial arts, she could hear all sounds within a 1km radius when she chose to.
This skill of hers, however, weakens her other senses and drains her energy.
As she thought about it, Jun Yexuan smiled at her and patted her head affectionately.
Qiao Qing was a little confused.
After the group left the building, Leng Yan and Zhou Xin went to the parking lot only to find Qiao Qing walking in the other direction.
Leng Yan stopped moving and asked, “Qingqing?”
Qiao Qing said, “Didn’t I say I wanted to check out the casino?”
